 The word technology is

derived from the Greek
word technic meaning
art or skill.
Technology is the science
of study of an art or skill.

DEFINITIONS
Leith-Educational technology is the
application of scientific knowledge
about learning and the conditions of
learning to improve the effectiveness
and efficiency of teaching and learning.
Kulkarny-Educational technology may
be defined as the application of the
laws as well as recent discoveries of
science and technology to the process
of education.

Nature of Educational
Technology
E.T is not a simple combination of the

words, education and technology. It is

usually thought of even morethan the
sum of its interpretations .ie,
Technology in education
Technology of education

Technology of education
Technology of education deals with the active

use of the systematic application of scientific

knowledge to the learning process that each
individual has to pass through in order to
acquire and wield knowledge.

Technology in Education
Technology in education refers to the use of

technological systems in education. It is

mainly concerned with electrical

gadgets

which are increasingly used to facilitate the

learning process.

Scope of Educational
Technology

Identification of aims and objectives

Developing criteria for evaluation

Analysis and structuring learning

experiences
Developing / selecting teaching strategies
and media
Teacher training
Continuing education
Mass education
Gaming and simulation

Approaches of Educational
Technology
There are mainly 3 types of E.T
Hardware approach
Software approach
System approach

Approach
es

Hardware
approach

System approach

Software approach

Hardware
Approach

The origin of this particular approach

lies in the application of physical
science of engineering to education
and training system.It assumes that
technology

of

machines

is

closely

related to a technology as teaching.

Radio,

television,

taperecorder,

Software Approach
This type of E.T is also termed as
Instructional Technology or teaching
technolgy

as

approach,teaching

in
and

this
learning

principles are applied to the direct

and

deliberate

behaviour.Software

shaping

of

approach

is

System Approach
This

particular

approach

represent

the

ideology in E.T. Education is regarded as a

system, and system approach is a systematic
way of designing an effective and economical
educational
educational

system,keeping
goals

and

in
the

mind

the

available

resources ,both human and non-humans.

MICRO TEACHING

MICRO-TEACHING
Micro teaching is one of the most recent
innovations in teacher education /training
programme
teachers

Which
behaviour

aims

at

according

modifying
to

the

specified objectives. Micro teaching is a

controlled practice that makes it possible to
concentrate on teaching behaviour in the
student-teacher training programme.

DEFINITIONS
Allen,D.W(1966);Micro teaching is a scaled
down teaching encounter in class size and
classtime.
Allen,D.W
and
Eve,A.W(1968);Micro
teaching is defined as a system of
controlled practice that makes it possible
to concentrate on specified teaching
behaviour and to practice teaching under
controlled conditions.
Jangira,N.K
and
Singh,Ajit(1982);Micro
teaching is a scaled down teaching

MPORTANTS OF MICRO-TEACHING

The micro element

Technical skills of teaching and teaching strategies

The feedback element

Safe practice-grounds

The teaching models

The research laboratory

MAIN ADVANTAGES OF MICROTEACHING

Micro-teaching is real teaching
Micro-teaching lessons the complexities of
normal classroom teaching
Micro teaching focusses on training for the
accomplishment of specific tasks
Micro-teaching allows for the increased
control of practice
Micro-teaching greatly expands the normal
knowledge of result of feedback dimension
in teaching

Comparison between Micro

teaching and Traditional Teaching
Micro Teaching

Class consists of a small groups of 5 to 10 students.

The teacher takes up one skill at a time.
Duration of time for teaching is 5 to 10minutes.
There is immediate feedback.
Objectives are specified in behavioural terms.

Traditional Teaching

Class consist of 40 to 60 students.

The teacher practices several skills at a time.
The duration is 40 to 50 minutes.
Immediate feedback is not available .
Objectives are general and not specified in behavioural terms.
